                structures
          D.2.2 Guaranteeing accessibility and avoiding enclaves
          D.2.3 Creating vitality (blending functions and attractive
                layout)
          D.2.4 Providing mixed status (blending socio-economic
                groups, avoiding isolation and segregation)
          D.2.5 Creating adequate urban density to allow vitality
                and natural surveillance

                alternatives routes, limiting access for
                nonauthorized People)
          D.3.6 Territoriality (human scale, clear public/private
                zoning, compartmentalization)
          D.3.7 Attractiveness (colour, material, lighting, noise,
                smell, street furniture)
          D.3.8 Robustness (materials e.g. street furniture, fences)
      D.4 Management strategies
          D.4.1 Target hardening/removal
          D.4.2 Maintenance
          D.4.3 Surveillance (patrolling, camera monitoring)
          D.4.4 Rules (for conduct of the public in public spaces)
          D.4.5 Providing infrastructures for particular groups
          D.4.6 Communication (of preventive messages and rules
                of conduct for the public)
Bibliography

This Technical Report gives guidelines on methods for assessing the risk of crime and/ or fear of crime and measures, procedures and processes aimed at reducing these risks.Design guidelines are given for specific types of environments to prevent or counteract different crime problems consistently with the urban planning documents (see 4.3). Furthermore, guidelines for a step by step process are presented to involve all stakeholders (see 4.4) engaged in urban planning and environmental crime reduction as well as all other stakeholders mainly local and regional authorities and residents in the multi-agency action needed to minimise the risks of crime and fear of crime.This Technical Report is applicable to the planning process of new, as well as existing, urban areas. An area can be the neighbourhood or environment ranging from just a few houses or streets to the whole city with a focus on public spaces.
